|notes= Overheating active modules can have a significant effect in combat: the bonuses offered by overheating range from an increase in the damage output of weapons, larger speed boosts from propulsion modifiers, an increase in the range of certain modules, better resists, an increased rate of repair and more. A higher Thermodynamics skill allows you to overheat modules for longer before burning them out. This skill need not be a priority for a pilot who only flies in everyday PvE combat (missions, ratting). It is however useful in advanced PvE (e.g. running [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssals]]), important in PvP, and especially important in small-gang and solo PvP.
